Movie Reviews - Maleficent : Mistress Of Evil (2019)

At the beginning of the story, Princess Aurora was happy because her lover, Prince Philip, proposed to her. Planning to get married, Princess Aurora and Maleficent are invited to Prince Philip's royal palace for dinner with the extended family. As a foster mother, Maleficent doesn't look happy.

Far outside the Moors (fairy country), there are many rumors that Maleficent is an evil fairy. In fact, his curse on Princess Aurora several years ago was considered an unforgivable crime.

However, no one knows if Maleficent really loves her adopted daughter. To make Aurora happy, Maleficent is willing to make a number of special preparations to meet Prince Philip's family.

In this scene, many people claim to be entertained by Maleficent's hilarious actions while practicing speaking human language in the river. Occasionally he is also seen being ridiculed by Diaval or his favorite crow, who often turns into a human. In addition to not looking scary, Maleficent is also willing to wear a hair hat to wrap her horns.

Long story short, Aurora and Maleficent were greeted by Prince Philip's parents, King John and Queen Ingrith. However, in the middle of conversation at dinner, Queen Ingrith often angers Maleficent. As future mother-in-law, Queen Ingrith hopes Princess Aurora can stay in her kingdom.

As a mother, Maleficent certainly doesn't want to be away from her daughter. Without realizing it, Maleficent went berserk and hit everything around him. But, things get worse when King John suddenly gets a mysterious curse. Worse, Queen Ingrith immediately accused Maleficent of being the one who gave the curse.

Well, this is where the conflict between Princess Aurora and Maleficent heats up. Without concrete evidence, Princess Aurora also immediately accused her own adoptive mother of causing her future father-in-law to be cursed. Finally, Princess Aurora chose to live in Prince Philip's kingdom.

It doesn't stop there, the film Maleficent 2 also presents an increasingly complex story. Feeling hurt not being defended by his daughter, Maleficent flew as far as possible. Unfortunately, Maleficent was suddenly shot by someone who was ordered by Queen Ingrith.

Luckily, this time Maleficent's life was saved by a group of fairies who claimed to be Dark Fey. Yes, they are the same fairy as Maleficent. However, they had been hiding in the dungeon on purpose to avoid human evil. Maleficent's heartache is growing. In fact, he no longer recognizes Princess Aurora as his daughter. In this round, Maleficent and Dark Fey, who were led by Conall and Borra, planned to fight against humans. One of their strongest targets was the Ulstead Job or that belonged to Prince Philip's family.

But, without realizing it, Queen Ingrith or Prince Philip's mother also had plans to fight against the fairy nation. As the queen of the kingdom, she hopes to rule the entire nation Moors (fairy nation) and also killed all the fairies who had been guarded by his future son-in-law.

At least that's the conflict depicted in the film Maleficent 2: Mistress of Evil. Angelina Jolie's figure as Maleficent still has a strong influence on the success of this film. Despite showing a bad side, in the end Maleficent's beauty and kindness still stole the hearts of viewers.

Not only Angelina Jolie, the character of Queen Ingrith's mother-in-law (Michelle Pfeiffer) has also successfully become the center of attention. Behind her gentle demeanor, Michelle Pfeiffer managed to make the audience shudder when she became a queen who turned out to be very cruel. She is even described as a queen who has no empathy and feelings for anyone.

Overall, the sequel to the film Maleficent 2 can be said to be good. But in terms of lighting, it looks darker and less suitable for children or parents who want to reminisce about Disney films.

But in terms of visualization, director Joachim Ronning is quite successful in spoiling the eyes of the audience with the beauty of a fairy land full of flowers and nature that looks real.
